"Is this the city that King Yan just established? From this point of view, the King Yan is afraid that he wants to establish a prefecture and county here!"
A middle-aged man in Confucian uniform beside Gao Jifu sighed slightly when he looked at the city wall that was still under construction.
"The King of Yan is very arrogant and has superb skills. No one expected that the desolate place of Gaoling would become the hub of the entire Guanzhong in just a few years. I felt so painful when I went to buy a house.
Now that King Yue has chosen this place, he also means to develop Youzhou in this way."
When Gao Jifu heard the middle-aged man's words, he said something slight and serious, "Let's go in and take a look."
As for behind these two people, in addition to the guards they each brought, there were several men in Japanese style who were looking at their heads. The leaders were Mida Inuki (also known as Oda Ship) and Pharmacist Eri.
At this moment, they were also looking at this small town in Tianjin that was built, and they were somewhat curious.
After all, they have seen Chang'an City. This city that has just been built naturally does not have that kind of shock.
But they were somewhat looking forward to seeing Li Tai, the first-class prince.
They have always heard the news of Li Tai, the first-class prince, and have even wandered around places like Gaoling.
They witnessed Gaoling’s rapid development from the wasteland where birds do not shit, under the prince’s incredible management skills, the rapid development of tall buildings on the ground has now become a must-pass place before going to Chang'an or leaving Chang'an.
Now, this mysterious prince has chosen this site to build such a large town.
Obviously, the ambition of King Yan Li Tai from the beginning was aimed at establishing a large county with 100,000 people.
This made these Japanese admire Li Tai very much, but unfortunately, although they were sent envoys from Japan, they were not qualified to meet Li Tai, or there was no reason to have any interaction with Li Tai. They have always been in Chongwen Museum
Learn inside.
Now I can see this King of Yan before leaving the Tang Dynasty, which makes these Japanese feel that this trip is worthwhile.
The person who talks to Gao Jifu is naturally Gao Biaoren. It can be seen that the relationship between Gao Jifu and Gao Biaoren is not harmonious.
What should I say?... I can't say that there is a conflict between the two. This is a historical issue. I can only say that it is a bit embarrassing to meet.
Gao Jifu was born in the Gao family of Bohai and was the fourth generation grandson of Gao You, the Guanglu official of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Gao Biaoren is the son of Gao Yang. Gao Yang also has the Xianbei name Dugu Yang. He often calls himself a native of Bohai and often plays with the Gao family of Bohai.
Anyway, no one knows whether he is the Gao clan of Bohai. At least no one objected to him when he was alive.
Under such circumstances, Gao Jifu and Gao Biaoren have a bit of the taste of Li Kui and Li Gui.
It’s a bit awkward to get along with each other, neither of them is very enthusiastic, as if there is an invisible gap between them.
Of course, this gap improved a lot when I met Li Tai. Faced with Gao Jifu's visit, Li Tai did not dare to neglect at all and called Li Chunfeng, Lu Anshou, and Wei Xu to come and receive several people.
As for Wang Zhenru, he naturally used the standards of the "Cast Transport System" to clear the Yongji Canal within Youzhou and build the Tianjin Jinkou.
The establishment of Jinkou is quite critical, because it is considered an important node for the canals in the north and south.
At least before the implementation of the entire "Cast Transport Plan", it is considered the unique advantage of Tianjin Port.
In addition to the fact that Wang Zhenru was responsible for this, even if the construction of Tianjin City was basically done by Li Chunfeng, and the corvee team led by Wang Zhenru was responsible for the construction.
At the same time, the small factories of various industries he brought over also had a place to use, and small factories suddenly rose up near the small town of Tianjin, supplying various raw materials for the construction of the entire Tianjin city.
Li Tai doesn't mind that the initial investment capital is higher, because Li Tai knows that he will build a large-scale construction in Youzhou in the future, and all the industrial foundations need to be fully supplemented, otherwise the cost of playing will be too high.
Li Tai even sent people to Jizhou to explore the coal mines and iron mines.
Because Jizhou and Pingzhou basically divide the current Tangshan City evenly, Li Tai’s only hope is that the coal mines and iron ore in Tangshan are located in the western area in Jizhou.
As for the development of Pingzhou, it is probably necessary to wait until Goguryeo is destroyed before it can be developed, because Pingzhou is facing the forefront of Goguryeo.
Even if there is any mine found here, with the current relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, it is naturally impossible to mine here!
No matter what, these seeds have been sown. When they can grow into raw material systems like arm fingers, Li Tai can only wait slowly for flowers and bear fruit, and feed them slowly for these local projects.
At this moment, Li Tai knew about Gao Jifu's arrival, so he naturally sent someone to invite Gao Jifu and his group to the newly built Yue Palace. This government office is located in the center of Tianjin, as if he had occupied it.
A shop.
Gao Jifu frowned as he watched Li Tai build a big project.
To be honest, he was very opposed to the royal construction of Li Tai and other royal projects that damaged the people's strength. Moreover, Li Shimin asked Gao Jifu to come over, and he looked at Li Tai.
At this moment, watching Li Tai build a market for himself to use, he couldn't help but persuade him.
"The King of Yan has always been polite to the people's strength but not to be luxurious. Now that he has arrived in Youzhou, he has made such a large-scale construction and occupied such land alone."
"This place is not only mine, but will also be used as a teaching place in the future!" Li Tai replied with a smile.
"As for sympathizing with the people's strength, I also want to be sympathetic, but the people's strength refuses. What else can I do if you say I have!"
Hearing Li Tai's words so proud, Gao Jifu opened his mouth and finally closed it.
Yes, Li Tai never knew what it meant to be polite to the people, but the people were just happy to serve under Li Tai.
Because Li Tai's subordinates not only charge three or two meals, but also have the ability to get equivalent food.
In this regard, the court also envied Li Tai for being able to easily drive the people to work, but if it were him, he would really have no money. Even if he had the will, he would not have the ability!
However, he said to Gao Jifu, and Gao Biaoren, who was standing aside, said, "The King of Yan has the talent of Tao Zhu, and the art of controlling people."
But even so, is this Tianjin City too big built? Please ask the King of Yan to teach me how to reply to the saints!"
"Oh~" Li Tai was stunned when he heard Gao Biaoren's words. Soon, Li Tai understood Gao Biaoren's intention to show kindness to him.
After all, he was willing to tell himself that he would report back to Li Shimin, which was a good thing in itself for Li Tai.
"Just report it truthfully!" Li Tai said, "Tianjin has the potential to develop into a population of 100,000 or even more.
I understood Gao Shaoqing's kindness, and let Aye know clearly that my ambitions and the degree of progress are not a bad thing for me.
After all, even if it fails, at most it will be laughed a few times, and I can afford it."
When Gao Biaoren saw Li Tai's answer, he didn't say anything more.
Gao Biaoren reminded Li Tai with kindness, a very important reason was that Honglu Temple and the Yan Prince's Mansion were still in good terms.
After all, Li Tai has always been in a position to make money from Honglu Temple, so he is naturally not shy about each other!
"However, Gao Shaoqing, why did you come to Youzhou? Just come to see me specifically?" Li Tai couldn't help but wonder about Gao Biaoren.
"I want to send the envoys from the Japanese country to return to China and enthrone the Japanese country along the way, so that it will be officially a vassal state." Gao Biaoren told Li Tai.
"So that's it!" Li Tai nodded in understanding and asked again, "Have you passed by Goguryeo?"
"Sage, let me take General Li to visit the Bohai Navy. I have never seen General Li before and cannot answer your words from King Yan!"
Gao Biaoren heard Li Tai's words and explained Li Tai as soon as possible.
Li Tai nodded, thinking in his heart that it must be the Bohai Navy's training for several years, but Li Shimin also felt that it was necessary to pull the Bohai Navy out and try the Bohai Navy's ocean navigation ability.
After all, since the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Goguryeo began to build the Great Wall in the north like crazy.
Li Shimin asked the Bohai Navy to send him there, but he was afraid that he would show off his power.
It means that even if you build the Great Wall in the north, I can still beat you if I want to hit you.
When the power of this martial arts ends, maybe we will start discussing opening the trading port.
Li Tai didn't want Li Shimin to hide the meaning of the Bohai Navy in the Tang Dynasty.
Because Li Tai believes that the navy is not so easy to build, is Li Dejian's Bohai navy now considered a navy?
Li Tai said that this can only be regarded as a navy, not a navy.
Because there is no suitable opponent to train the Tang navy, the Tang navy is just a group of navy soldiers who have just entered the sea.
If the experience that can be achieved by bandit suppression is limited, if you want the navy to transform into a navy, you must have an opponent with enough weight to sacrifice.
As for whether there is Li Tai in the Bohai area now, Li Tai believes that Li Shimin asked Li Dejian to take the Bohai Navy to go to Goguryeo for a walk. Even if there wasn't, I'm afraid there will be something in the future.
To be honest, this kind of navy may be lost while playing with it.
Because the navy is too resource-intensive, as long as the navy is still alive, the entire war will naturally become a new model of competing for logistics.
"Maybe Aye thought that the Bohai Navy could defeat the enemy without fighting."
Li Tai thought about it and felt that Goguryeo really saw so many elite sea soldiers. Li Tai felt that the future Bohai Sea Battle was afraid that it would be possible to book.
"If a naval battle with Goguryeo really breaks out, it may not be a bad thing for me or the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Tai had a definition in his heart, and looked at Gao Biaoren in front of him, and said,
"Gao Shaoqing, this time I went to Japan, I am afraid I will pass by Goguryeo. If I have the opportunity, I can trade with Goguryeo.
It is best to open a trading port in the southern city of Goryeo. It would be better if this place is closer to Silla Baekje!"
"The saint, I didn't say that I would discuss business matters with Goguryeo!?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Gao Biaoren couldn't help but frown.
"It's okay. When you were writing my memorial, you added this matter along the way and sent it to Aye in a hurry.
When Aye replied, you can send the envoy of Tang back to Japan." Li Tai said here and said,
"Several envoys sent to Tang should not mind enjoying the autumn scenery here on Hebei Road, stay for a few more days!"
One person opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, the Tutu Mita-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-
Your great work!”
"It's very good at speaking!" Li Tai looked at the Mita-sama in the Tuan, and said, "You speak very well in Tang Dynasty! The Tuan is sending the Tang envoy."
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Since the dog sent the Tang envoy to stay in Tianjin voluntarily, he can naturally act at will.
But some military camps or some private territories have been asked to send the Tang envoys to pay attention, so don’t make me embarrassed.”
"Thank you, King Yan!" Inugu Mida-sama expressed his gratitude to Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's answer.
To be honest, Li Tai wants to support Japan to a certain extent, because only when Japan feels strong will he take the initiative to provoke a battle with the Tang Dynasty.
More importantly, what if the Tang Dynasty fought a naval battle with Goguryeo, what if Japan was afraid of it and didn't fight with the Tang Dynasty.
It is unrealistic to expect the navy to take the initiative to attack Japan or even destroy Japan, because Japan is too timid when it should be.
Therefore, to a certain extent, increase Japan's strength, make the other party become arrogant again, and then take the initiative to meet China. This is the most correct thing.
By then, if you win Japan, it will not be like after the Battle of Baijiangkou in history, Japan will easily admit defeat and send overseas students to understand this matter easily.
Therefore, Li Tai did not stop the insult of the inksan Mita-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta
Because of technology, he can indeed see something during the construction of Tianjin town, but that alone is not enough.
Many times, the importance of thinking layout is far higher than that of technology.
Because for a country, technology can be conquered by resources and genius, but the most important thing is to think of this.
Li Tai sent someone to settle the envoy to send Tang. Li Tai did not take all the harshness of the envoy to send Tang in Japan because of his past memories, but instead showed the friendship of the landlord. Of course, Gao Biaoren's treatment was naturally much higher than that of these two envoys to send Tang.
.
However, as these people were settled, Li Tai invited Gao Jifu again at night.
But this time, there was no one around Li Tai except Bai He who was responsible for discipline.
"King Yan, why did you invite me in the sky? Could it be that you asked me to have a drink?" Gao Jifu said with a smile.
"Since it's an invitation at night, there is naturally something half public and half private to come to Gao Changshi!" Li Tai looked at Gao Jifu and said calmly, "I heard that the food in Youzhou area is about to mature this year!"
"Does the King of Yan want to make these foods?" Gao Jifu was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.
"I just settled in Youzhou and all the food is bought by buying it. Now the harvest is the time to buy a large amount of money.
So I will ask Gao Changshi for help. I will collect as much food as Youzhou!" Li Tai said calmly.
"I'm really generous!" Gao Jifu couldn't help but answer when he heard Li Tai's words, but he also thought.
